Which TIP stood out for you? For me going low and shooting up was a game changer!
I find my self shooting eye level a lot. Maybe it’s time for going low and shooting up. Thank you for the great tip and video is great as always. Keep it up
yeah I grab that tip from here! Thanks!
I love the handheld moves.👏🏻
How do you keep it flatering for the model when often shooting low ?
Shooting handheld. The smooth movement you can get with them. And the layering of elements looks nice.
Question: if you use a 24 mm on a apc, you'll get around 35 mm. But does it looks like a 35? Or looks it like a 24 mm on the edget with the distortion and all?
What I've learned in the last 15 years of photography: A great model makes up 90% of good photos. Apparently it's no different with video :D Boring locations without chic models: THAT would be a challenge ;)
True
I couldn't agree more.
ehh no, for me lighting and composition is number 1, the foreground background seperation does wonder to an image
Yep. Step one - find a girl to be in front of your camera in basically a bra.
I thought I was an antagoniser & that something's wrong with me for speaking the truth.
The tip to to establish a relationship with a model was really useful to me. Because with a model girlfriend or wife, your shoots won't fail in any location!
Really glad you found that tip helpful. :)
Yeah! Why didn’t I think before to get in a relationship with a model!? 😂
😂😂😂
Dude your footage is always SO clean. Great video!
Wow dude! 🔥🔥 That means so much coming from you!
song name at 0:17 ???
Tips 1. Angle shoot low or high. 2. Shoot handheld - move camera and get dynamic tracking shots.
3. Lighting - control and placement of light. Use diffusers or artificial light.
4. Try to shoot wide open to avoid background distractions.
5. Subject distance relation to camera. Fore ground elements and background elements
6. Details- Close up shots to get epic and connect the shots.
7. Color Grading - focus on improving color.
Nice! Thx for the recap :)
no. basically get a tight lens :)
this video just teached me more than my 4 years at the university's cinema tv department
Oh wow, I take that as a huge compliment. Thank you for your support on my channel! 🙏
As a fellow photographer for 15 years these tips are great and are all valid points. But I have to subtract points for opting to use the easy way out with these massive deflectors and lighting setups. So the video really becomes "how to film cinematic footage with $$ and equipment". Keep in mind, I have owned dozens of lights, softboxes, deflectors, backdrops, etc etc etc and know the ins and outs of how pricey that can get and I also know that the type of person watching this video won't own what we own. Just something to keep in mind.
so true. Tomorrow, for my reporting work needs, I have to upgrade my lens to a telephoto lens, which is also not cheap.
As always, condensed, packed with knowledge, no rambling, clean and… absolute gold
Yo, glad you liked it. Thanks a lot for the comment and for supporting the channel! 🙏
You're very talented and your shooting ideas are really helpful. I've always wanted to know how to "stand out" in terms of shots and composition - now I know 🙂. ...and most surprising thing is that you've created these beautiful shots using only a "bare" camera: no cages, handles, steadicam or a monitor - not even a camera strap - genius!
Thank you, that means so much to me! I've always believed in getting by with the bare minimum unless I need the extra stuff I'm not gonna use it :)
@@jacques_crafford these type of shots are my only regret going with blackmagic cameras. Awesome cameras in every way but there is no way in hell I could just go handheld like you did here without some stabilisation in camera.
Well, using sony a7sIII which has ibis and gmaster lens i guess with stabilization system is not so hard to keep footage well. Ofcourse you need got skills to still keep them well, but try to do shooting with old apsc camera with no stabilization at all, That’s challenging :p
@@ManoelFlesch Try the new gyro stabilization in davinci resolve! It should be great!
@@pia_movies bro I have worked with Nikon D3200 & handheld.God gave me the courage to work with that & it worked wow.
😂😂😂 sorry but it’s the same issue , no epic location no problem , get an amazing and beautiful model instead 😂😂😂😂
Every of your videos is always enlightening and educative. You know how to teach and demonstrate the tips so well. I’ve really learnt a lot from you since I came across this channel. Thank you so much and keep doing what you do.
Reading this really brings a smile to my face, thank you brother!
As a noobie, all of them stand out to me, but #6 hit home. Going in tight on the details is where I will focus this week. I learn something from each and every video you create Jacques and for that, you have all my gratitude.
That makes me so happy to hear, thanks for taking the time to write this Mark!
5:42 This was exactly what I've been needing to hear from someone. This should be every filmmakers mantra.
Very happy to hear that! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Mr. Crawford, a Sage of videography.
Ah every tip was so valuable, but the “using elements to create depth” (not just shooting wide open) is GOLD. Another inspiring video. 🤜🤛
Perspective... It is what it is all about... as a creator you have the ability to take people to the places you want them to notice. I guess beauty is all around if you know how to look for it (very cheesy but true).
this video earned my subscription! wonderful job, the way you explain, how fast you do it, how concise and the amount of info you compress into your videos is outstanding! great job!
I am really happy to hear that, hope to see you around in the comments :) Thank you for the compliment!
Its so rare to see acually useful video on cinematography on YT. Thank you!
Wow thank you for the compliment! 🙏
holy crap what an abundance of intentional info. amazing
So happy you think so! 🙏
Just discovered your channel. Followed straight after watching this. Thanks!
Wow, thanks so much for the sub, I really appreciate the support! 🔥
To film like this with basic gear you need the most rate resource of all - TALENT!
I visited Tennessee once,,, the big hills near Nashville,,,,
What I saw inspired me to want to make a music video , so majestic ~
the tip of shooting low to the ground is really cool. Thanks for this amazing video
Glad you like the tip and that you found the video amazing! 🙏🏼
Very useful video, Jacques!
Really glad to hear that! 🔥
Great video. I’m going to try some of these tips
Thank you. Have fun!🔥
Bro, your content is paid content level. Thanks for the tips and the inspiration. You should definitely chapter marks these tips.
Whoa thanks dude, that's so awesome of you to say. Really appreciate it so much!
Thanks, this was great. There was so much in there that I'll likely watch a few times as a refresher
Glad to hear that. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
This channel wins 2022 best educative film making channel
Man that makes me so happy to hear! THANK YOU for your support!
I am more photography than film at this point, but of course the two are very interchangeable. I like going low and shooting up, or ground elements as foreground. I also like the framing achieved by moving around the one model to get a better angle through the trees. Thanks for the tips
Hey, thank you so much for taking the time to comment. Glad you like the tips. I really do appreciate your support as a subscriber. 🔥🔥
Outsanding video that really delivers, thank you for those tips. I'm planning to shoot outdoors for my music videos this year, and I probably won't have access to "epic" locations. I'm saving this video, the info in here will definitely come in handy when the time comes.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate that. Good luck with your outdoor music videos! 🔥
Awesome video Jacques! Loved the simple tube lighting setup. Im looking at investing in a tube light!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you☺️
So cool what you were able to do just in someone's backyard. I definitely thought those shots were in exotic locations. Love the detail tip, too!
So stoked to hear that bro, was afraid that people might think the garden is an epic location but it really isn't, I had to work the angles to get those shots :)
Flip Jacques this is brilliant man!
Happy to hear. Thank you so much! 🙏
Excellent video with the timing and information, especially the audio part of it. Felt like I was watching for 20mins straight
Really appreciate that, thanks for the nice comment! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Incredible footage thank you
Thank you for watching! 🙏
This was dope! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your support! 🙏
This was a great tutorial. Thanks.
GREAT tips! Thanks, man!
Happy to help!🙏
I am such a fan of your videos!
That's so nice of you to say. Thank you! 🙏
Wow! I really learned a lot from this one! Especially the first tip - to shoot from the ground.
Thanks Imran, that tip has saved me many times even at events!
Best video tutorial i have seen in years
Wow, your content is so valuable! You didn´t even waste a second in this one without teaching great content! THX!
Efficiency is so important! Thanks for taking the time to comment and for your support on the channel! 🔥
I shoot 35mm on my Sonya7r3 with DJI gimbal. mostly 120 fps, HD 1080 for slow motion. very smooth. cant imagine shooting hand-held without slow motion but will give it a go.
Great video Jacques👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks mate!
Really enjoyed watching this. The tutorial l itself was emotive! Thank you for the tips. Great to see what one can do
I’ve watched 5 of your videos already and still binge watching! lol Your videos are all so good and informative! Thank you!
Thanks Manny, you are most kind! Appreciate the support!
Thank you dear sir!!!
So nice of you, thanks a lot! 🙏🏼
ok. matter of depth. got it! you Sir, crystal clear. #excellent
Glad it was helpful!🔥🔥
Defintely going to do this time❤️💯
Hope it works well for you bro!
This changing my videography. Your tips are always Change my game
So good to hear that, thanks Matthew!
@@jacques_crafford I follow your channel since long time thanks for all videos. Brother you are my best youtuber please pray for me GOD BLESS YOU
Much love from Sierra Leone
This is one of my best video ever from u
Thank for the teachings
That makes me sooo happy to hear, thank you brother!
Just loved it!
Glad to hear! 🙏
Your tips are always pure gold, thanks a lot! What amazes me the most is the perfectly smooth motion of your handheld shots. Is this years of training paying off and post stabilization (gyro data?).
Thanks that means so much to me! I think the stable shots are a combination of both, but I do use Active Steady a lot, works great on the 35mm and up (not so with wides).
I just want to be like Jacques. You make me fall in love with filmmaking
That's such an encouragement, thanks bro!
Great Video, big inspiration. Just wanna grab my camera and lets go !
DO IT! Thank you for supporting my channel, I really appreciate it.
Absolutely stunning Jacques, but literally i just missed the result video. it must be added. but anyway tips was awesome!
Man huge inspiration! Come visit us in Jbay again!
Thank you for sharing this.
Very inspiring and awesome shots! Creativity goes a long way!
Thank you so much for your comment, I really appreciate it. Creativity is so essential!
Your tips are excelent, and the reasoning is simple and solid. But I missed a very important tip, that is clearly demonstrated here... the importance of the casting director. Some people just look more "cinematic", and it´s related but not equal to "beauty". They just make the film look more expensive (lol). Good work, subscribed!
Please make more such informative videos. As a beginner this is gold.
Thank you so much, more to come for sure!
So good thanks! 😊
Really happy that you think so! 🙏🏼
I just came across your channel and can already tell I’m in for a binge session. Such great information delivered very concisely. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it’s much appreciated! 🙏🏻
Man that makes me so happy to hear, I hope learn lots more from me! Grateful for the support!
AWESOME VIDEO! The only thing is that because I'm from Argentina, I gotta point out that Patagonia and Iguazu are here, not in Chile and a small part is in Brasil of Iguazu.
Great video. Thanks for the share.
Thank you so much, I appreciate the support! 🙏
I think this is the most perfect tutorial for me sir...Thanks
Now that is an awesome thing to say, thank you!😀
Thank you so much man for all that!!
I can’t imagine that you giving this for free 💪
Only a pleasure mate, so happy to hear you find value in it!
Learned so much, thank you Bro 👏 more of that please 🙏✌️ Greetz from Germany ❤️
Thanks bro, happy to make more! Thanks for your support, greetings from South Africa!
Great video 👏 Dude, your handheld footage is incredibly stable! Are you using Catalyst Browse to stabilise your footage?
I was thinking the same, like how is that handheld even
Thanks Hayden, that really means a lot to me! You're such a great talent yourself, happy to have your support! I don't ever use Catalyst, I feel I get better results in post in Resolve. The real trick is Active Steady on the A7sIII. It works really well on 35mm and up BUT not for panning shots (only forward and backward) so I disable it and only shoot with standard IBIS for panning shots.
@@jacques_crafford I was afraid about this answer, since I have bmpcc, So I have to stay with my steadycam...
That’s all camera control there!! Walk like a ninja!
@@jacques_crafford thanks for your reply - interesting about active stabilisation when panning! You’re too kind and an inspiration to us all. Bless you and your family and keep up the great work! 🇿🇦

Thank you! The model helps but the principles are solid and will help in many scenarios.
Bravo! Simple and helpful. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting! 🙏
@@jacques_crafford And those footage you filmed at the "boring" locations are simply wonderful and inspiring. Expecting to watch more great videos that come from your experience. Thx 😊
Excellent video. If only all UA-cam tips and tricks videos could be this informative in such a punchy way
Thanks mate, I hope to keep it this way!
Great tips. They were all really helpful. It'll certainly help me with my film making. thanks
Really happy to hear that. Appreciate your comment.
Wow! Gracias.
AMAZING video dude! Stuffed full of golden advice. Thank you!!
Glad to hear it! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! 🙏
Super video very informative! Can you explain or maybe make a tip in a future video, how do you pull focus when you record with your dslr. Probably cant just rely on autofocus ?
Dude... Your content is always refreshing and inspirational. Love it!
So stoked to hear that, thanks my dude!
Simple but effective tips, amazing and well exposed execution. Love it!
Glad you think so, thanks so much! 🔥
Wow not even a minute and I was already mind-blown with the location and shot comparison!
So happy to hear that, thanks Carlos!
Great video my man, you have a new subscriber .
That's very nice of you, thanks so much! 🔥
Wow this is a great video. Thanks Man!
THANK YOU very much for the video tuturial ..
Wow, this video is incredible! You really did a fantastic job of making a boring location look epic. Your camera techniques and props are on point. I especially loved the way you used the light and shadows to create a sense of atmosphere. I'm also impressed by your editing skills. The video flows really well and the music is perfect. Overall, this is a really well-made video. I'm definitely going to be checking out more of your work. 🤩
Great tips!
Thanks a lot! 🙏
One of the first tips must be camera!))) Try to shoot something like this with Nikon d850, where you don't have no autofocus, no stabilization
Thanks mate!
You earned my subscription.
Only a pleasure bro, hope you can learn lots more from me!
There’s so much value in this video! In such a short time! Thank you so much Jacques
So glad to hear that, thanks Jaden!
Great video! I think one point I would've like added is about focus i.e. auto vs manual?
Thanks mate! Yes that's true, shooting at F/1.4 is much harder in manual!
Incredible💚
Many thanks! 🙏🏼
This is so educative.
Happy to hear that. Thank you! 🙏🏼
